CR on the Southern Secondary

@OCtrainguy:

Nice pics. Looks like some big trains again. Last week, all of six cars I think.

I know it's a little early. Any news on a Thursday run today? Going to grab a look before we lose light with the time change Sunday.

@GSC provided the train runs and doesn’t get held up today your best bet of seeing it in daylight is gonna be to see it before it reaches Farmingdale. Should get into Red Bank around 4:45 ish, maybe a little later. Should be near Collingswood Auction a little over an hour after that.

Permission on Church 14:58. Should be 4405.

The Church Running Track had a whole bunch of new tie plates put in between the road crossing and the switch for the Coast Line main. The type of plate used is different from the one that was there before. These plates are screwed into the tie and are connected to the rail with a hook. There’s also orange construction markings everywhere.

Edit: Nevermind. Was able to take a picture. Will upload it later.

The track from CP William to the road crossing hasn’t been touched as far as I can tell. Would take pictures but my phone is having memory problems.

Permission to open up 3:17 PM

Lined and Locked normal 3:30 PM

CSX 4405 leading
CSX 4451 trailing
18 cars. Boxcar at the head end might be for Extech. If so, then 17 for Woodhaven by the looks of it.

Clear of BANK interlocking on the Southern Secondary 4:26 PM

Approaching Maxwell Rd 4:44 PM

Yes, seems to me like the box up front is for Extech...

Going past Extech at 6:18 Pm. Boxcar wasn’t dropped off.

Just outside Farmingdale just before 7 pm, I believe. I can hear the engine idling, seems like they are getting ready to head out soon.

@JohnFromJersey Chances are he won’t leave before 8 PM.

Probably idling so they can run the heat. Kind of chilly night.

Can they fit 18 in Woodhaven?

Leaving Farmingdale 19:58
